Neoliberal MSShopoliticalitis?

That sentence has just entered the record books as the longest, run-on sentence ever posted on this site by a person, who lives in a country other than the US and spends time attempting, though not always successfully, at moderating the disparate points of views exhibited by the polyglot assemblage of persons, of the human race, homo sapiens genus, who visit the site with the stated purpose, not always self-evident, of gaining knowledge about, inter alia, German cars made by the marquee better known as Benz, though, arguendo, the marquee should be referred to as simply Mercedes, ipso facto Daimler Benz, id est cars from that same company that manufactured airplane engines which were used, to some degree or the other, on airplanes that fought against the US and its Allies, which included, but were not limited to, the country of origin of the person who wrote the aforesaid run-on sentence.

The run-on was fully deliberate, and as to the not always successful moderation, well that my good sir would be what we call an opinion and it falls under the same category as the aforementioned political arguments.

Thanks again for pointing out that I am indeed Canadian. Which puts me somewhere just beneath an American radical lefty communist I suppose.

Well, you already know how I feel about Canadians.

You guys are just American wanna-be, with better beer, and less attractive girls.

Point made: Here, when discussing current US politics you are either preaching to the choir or the devil.

Either way, no converts likely. So, what is gained by calling others morons or stupid or whatever?

And Chris, your nationality only puts you, well, north of the border.

...And I say to myself, What a Wonderful World....

Indeed.

That's a great song, btw.

Does that happen often? That people suggest that you psychoanalyze people you've never met? That should tell you something right there.

And how have you been able to determine that you've hit the nail on the head?

By Gotta's post he thinks "that's gonna hurt" how does he know that?

Psychoanalyzing people on the site is a bit of a stretch because I don't care enough about most of the posters to give them that much thought in at least in a psychoanalytic sense. I give more thought into wondering what my dog is thinking than most of the loony tunes here.

Jim, Ilike Canada and Canadians. I can't wait till we invade them, tkae their oil and drink their beer!

Think about all the prospective business for you, interpreting their tax code must be fun!

(No offense Chris OK? )

This coming from a fella that had a what... 12,000 thread count before he "left" the forum -- only to come back as another name and then another name?

Seriously... That would imply that you give quite a bit of thought to the "loony tunes" here, eh.

You're off your game today boss -- even with your friends going up to bat for ya.

Don't even think about going there. The previous times people have said that the Canadians handed us our asses on a platter.
